timebomb? no, just good code i plan to charge for money (as off-the-shelf-app)
I am evil yes i actually want to make money out of software sorry.

Best option is to not give the password to the user. If the database is his/hers, then you should behave like a good guest within that database.
They're not going to put you out of business by copying your sprocs. People don't bother with that kind of thing, they just come here to ask for the code

In which case why not just put your business logic in the application - which generally they will be able to de-compile anyway
Its a constant battle to keep your code secure, but in my (25+ years) experience if you are selling to proper businesses they will respect your licence agreement.

becuase it's more optimized in stored proc

Add the stored proc in code on app start then drop it on app close. Of course if the app crashes, you're stuffed.
Out of interest, why wouldn't you want the client to have the proc?

no - thing is, because I want this to be highly optimized and best place to put the logic is actually in database. Dilemma is now i have to give away the source code.
Perhaps what I can do is to encapsulate only half in stored proc, the other half in obfuscated dll =)

you can use encryption. Eg.
create proc MyProc with Encryption

@parameters....
)
as
select query.....
BTW why dont you use .

hope it helps...

AFAIK you could play around with the permissions, ie execute only to all but the developer. This will not secure your code but will reduce your exposure. The actual text of the code is stored in a sys table and is accessible to anyone with the right permissions (sa) and the knowledge to get at it.
I'd go with the license option - most clients are not SW people and only want to use the toll not reinvent it.

When using
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id) AS [RowNumber]<br />
FROM table where RowNumber > 1
It returns error 'Invalid column name 'RowNumber'. What is the problem here? I'm using SQL Server Express 2005. Thanks.

You added 'RowNumber' as a column-name alias. Those can be used in the ORDER BY clause, but can't be referenced in the WHERE part. Since you're using SQL 2005, you can bypass this by using a temporary query, selecting into a new CTE first;
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS [RowNumber]
FROM [YourTableNameGoesHere]
) AS CTE_TMP
WHERE [RowNumber] < 10

I have a procedure running with transaction used in it.
I have used multiple insert in the procedures and finally return the scope_identity() of one of the insert by first setting a variable with scope_identity() and then returning it with select @variable at the end of procedure after commit and in case of RollBack i m returning it as select -9
The issue what am i facing is that sometimes it is skipping the return value in case of Commit Transaction as it is not returning anything to the code.
I am using it like this:
Full Procedure Code with Insert Commands here
set @variable=scope_identity()
IF @@ERROR <> 0
BEGIN
-- Rollback the transaction
ROLLBACK
Select -9
END
COMMIT
select @variable
The procedure is not going in the @@ERROR section and also all the insert values are there in tables after commit but why sometimes it is not returning the value required. I am using ExecuteScaler in the code.

You are not setting your variable:
set @variable=scope_identity() <br />
IF @@ERROR <> 0 <br />
BEGIN -- Rollback the transaction <br />
ROLLBACK <br />
Select <big>@variable =</big> -9 <br />
END<br />
COMMIT<br />
select @variable

I am saying it is committing the records not giving any error and rollback. It is not returning the value in case of committing the records.

Without the rest of your code its kinda hard to say then.

Hi All,
I have an existing database with a table schema that I need to change. However it seems that there is a conflict in the conversion. I'm trying to change a ntext column to a nvarchar column. I'm using C# Express 2008.
I've tried doing it on an empty table with the connection closed but I still see this error. What's the best way to tackle this schema change? I don't like the idea of having to recreate the table from scratch. As I understand it there is no way to script an SqlCe database ...
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
|

wow, you still can't do this in sql2008?!
One approach is to create a whole new column with the required type, then copy the content from the old column into it & delete the old column. Of course, the column names cannot be the same, so you'll need to use sp_rename at some point.
Unfortunately, this can get very tricky when there are other constraints in the database that rely on your column (default value is probably most relevant here). Also, be aware of the 4000 character limit of nvarchar.
There's lots of tools out there that will assist with this kind of change. We use xSqlObject here, which is excellent (www.xsqlsoftware.com/Product/Sql_Schema_Compare.aspx[^])
Best of luck!

Thanks for this. I came to the same conclusion. Also I'm using SQLCE ... is the nvarchar limit 4000 characters for this version? I think it's actually 255 ...
|
|
|
|
|
A quick google suggests the limit is still 4000... don't know though, i've never used CE
